Jiang Hong was aware of the stakes and immediately fell silent. She glared at Fan Xi momentarily, then turned and left the room.
This was the second time Fan Xi had heard of being called Mrs. Fan, and she was very honored.
"My mother-in-law is just that way, but I still thank Mrs. Wu for speaking up for me." Fan Xi apologized.
"It's nothing." Mrs. Wu grinned. "With Mrs. Fan's skills, do you want to open a shop? I can help Mrs. Fan find a good shop because my family is in business."
Fan Xi knew Mrs. Wu liked her. Having a guide was better than exploring alone. She was thrilled, "I have a plan, so thank you, Mrs. Wu! What do you think? If the store opens, you can visit my shop and get a lifetime pass?"
Fan Xi's biggest concession was this, and there were few spots. Naturally, she saved it for her favor-giver. Madam Wu deserved it!
The news made Mrs. Wu smile, too. "I am not expecting Mrs. Fan's business skills. Okay, I will write my dad when I get home. When I have news, I will let you know."
"Thank you, Mrs. Wu!"
Fan Xi received 25 guests in half a month, mostly from wealthy families, so her prices must have been affordable. Still, all of them were over 300 because she was afraid that if Liu Su had not introduced her to other people, she would have to wait a while to get customers to patronize her alone.
Fan Xi had kept a book for every day's income and just waited for this day to summarize.
Unfortunately, almost everyone used an abacus in this era. She couldn't use it, so she had to hand calculate on her draft paper. Ye Fan entered without notice.
Ye Fan leaned in as Fan Xi's eyes brightened. He was stunned by the paper's data, and his pupils widened. "You earn so much!"
Fan Xi was also shocked. She repeated the count and felt her heartbeat speed up. She turned and shouted at Ye Fan, "Hello, Ye Fan! I make 8,700 in half a month! Are you still worried that I will not make 2,000 in half a month? Then you must divorce me, right?"
Ye Fan dry-coughed twice when he thought Fan Xi could never earn ten thousand monthly. He promised to set the conditions, but he had yet to realize Fan Xi was so skilled that she advanced more than half in half a month.
Lifting his eyes, he examined Fan Xi. Seeing Fan Xi staring at him without blinking made him feel guilty. Ye Fan regrouped and said, "It's early. It's still half a month. After that, who knows? First, make ten thousand."
Fan Xi stopped speaking when she saw Ye Fan's face. He was stubborn and didn't want to admit she was good at making money, but she would soon show Ye Fan how skilled she was.
Tomorrow was Liu Su's wedding. Fan Xi packed her cosmetics into a bag so she could take them away tomorrow.
After experiencing it personally, Fan Xi knows how much money the Liu family would spend to marry Liu Su.
The wedding guests were important, and the hotel was more luxurious than when the original owner married Ye Fan. The groom's or the bride's dowry included a television, washing machine, and refrigerator.
All three major appliances and other items were loaded from the Liu family's house. Filled them and took three full trucks. Many envied them as they drove around the block.
Fan Xi thought Liu Su looked even better after she put on makeup. The Liu parents were less anti-Fan Xi. Since their daughter married in the most beautiful state, they wanted to treat Fan Xi well.
"After seeing me, everyone who visited your house for makeup praised your skills. I think you can make me more beautiful on my wedding day!"
Liu Su admired herself in the mirror as if her temper had improved. At this moment, she spoke to Fan Xi with a gentler tone.
Fan Xi smiled, "I am telling you now that you are not ugly in the first place."
She believed that Liu Su and Liu Yun would have been beautiful without the birthmark and acne.
Zhang Yu, the groom, arrived at the Liu family home to pick up Liu Su from the Yong Chang Grand Hotel before the firecrackers went off.
